A piece of paper is just a piece of paper right? Not in the hands of Peter Callasen. Without adding material or completely removing the objects off the paper, he's able to put together some detailed and 3 dimensional pieces just by strategically cutting and folding. It's like an offshoot of origami but in some cases more complex. While the final product is notable, the trial and error / planning he must go through to make some of his pieces work must be quite lengthy, yet the material and display makes it look effortless. Making things look easy... he's a professional! Work other than the pieces I described are also available to view. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't take at least a quick glance through his selected works.

What I really love? The piece below... think I'll execute a Batman or Spiderman version...

Other cool stuff:There's a dent on my fridge %*@#$). Need to cover it up, how about a funky magnet?

And maybe why our studio professors decided to overload with the work:

Place insane demands. Then double them.If you ask students for 2 models, they'll bring in 2 models. If you ask for 6 models, you'll get 6 models. The more work that comes in, the higher the chances that some it will be good, and that a tiny bit of it will be great. So ask for 12 models.
